All The Black Ops 6 Operators At Launch And How To Unlock Them
Suit up
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches on October 25, and the game's multiplayer mode will have a roster of more than 20 operators to choose from at launch. This includes 12 soldiers from the Rogue Black Ops faction and 10 from Crimson One who will serve as the multiplayer mode's characters.
There are some canonical differences between the factions. For example, members of Rogue Black Ops aspire to uncover the truth and expose conspiracies. They aren't state-sponsored and don't have access to big budgets, so their equipment is more improvised or, in some cases, bought from criminal enterprises.
Crimson One soldiers, meanwhile, are part of the CIA effort to hunt down Rogue soldiers and has access to "all intel and tools to get the job done." One Crimson One soldier is not even human, as the Operator Klaus is a killer robot programmed with human-like traits.
With that backstory settled, read on to get up to speed with all 20+ operators that will be available upon launch. Of course, more are expected to come over time as DLC characters, both original and licensed, throughout Black Ops 6's seasonal live-service model.
The operators in this gallery are Black Ops 6's base set of soldiers and will also presumably be available in Warzone. Players have to meet certain requirements to unlock them all (including all available skins), including reaching certain ranks or purchasing a premium version of the game. Other operators are only available to those who preorder. You can consult the graphic in the final slide to find out how to unlock them all.
Descriptions in this gallery were written by Activision and published on the Call of Duty blog.
Black Ops 6 launches on October 25, and it will be available on Game Pass at launch. You have to be an Ultimate subscriber, though, and Microsoft just removed the $1 trial offer.
